BEGINNING OF THE END.
The Exposition Closes the Last of Its
Weeks But One.
YESTERDAY'SvARIED DOINGS
The Art Talk---Liberati Surprised
Children's Prizes---A Blaze of
Glory at Last.

Inc weather again somewhat inter-
fered with the attendance at the EXPOSE
ton, but despite the fact that the rain
fell heavily the better part of the day
and evening, large number of people
crowded the building and were charmed
by the performance of the Lachmund
Juvenile orchestra in the afternoon.
This interesting band is composed of
thirty young people upon whom Carl
Lachmund has spent long time
in bringing them to their
present high state of excellence.
Among those in the band who dis
tinguiShed themselves were Miss Sadie
McGregOr and Miss Lalee, who played
duet that brought down the house.
The solo by Miss Blanche Eddy, en-
titled the "Chapel Bell" also was
highly applauded, and in fact every
number was well rendered and favor
ably received. The feature of this band
is the little girls, their pretty faces max
ing quite nice showing when the ag-
gregarion is together.
A VERY INTERESTING EVENT
in the course of Yesterday was the cart
Talk" delivered by Miss Clark, of New
York. The room of the school of indus
dies, about 100 in all, when Miss Clark
commenced to speak. AS preliminary
she spoke of the school of Mrs. Cory in
New York and its history; how that
lady had struggled along, despite many
obstacles, to bring it to the high state of
eXcellency it now enjoys. Then, by
samples of carpet furnished by the
local firm of Lara & Co., the young
lady, in an interesting manner, dissected
the carpets, and showed in cOmpre-
hensive way the nature of the industry
and the fine, delicate qualities required,
not alone in making carpet, but in de-
signing it. On the subject of stained
glass windows she spoke fully, and this
part of her talk seemed to interest more
fully than anything else. Her remark
America was ahead of the old country,
and why not in designs, was re-
ceived with marked approval. The
talk lasted for about an hour and was
rendered Ineligible by the display of
good many samples and illustrations
from the school. In the display of these
diagrams to the audience Miss Clark
was ably assisted by Mrs. Quinby and
Miss Simpson. Taken altogether this
was about one of the most interesting
reunions held yet in connection with
the art gallery.
THE CHILDREN.
The prizes were awarded by Secretary
Byron to the children winning them at
the competition held last Saturday.
MIR. Byron presented the presents in a
fatherly manner; in fact it must be con-
fessed he gave all the girls a kiss and
patted the boys on the head. Among
the girls, Sophia Cleveland, 334 Seven
teenth street south, received the first
prize of SIS gold pice; Lily Schneider,
500 Fifth avenue south, won the second
prize of $3.50, and deserved it and a
good deal more, for a sweeter-looking
little miss could not be imagined than
first prize among the boys and Ralph
Bagley came in second.
THE SET DAY.
Although no official action was taken
the day was Manufacturers day, and as
such it is to presumed goOdly num-
Der of those present were connected
with the local factories of the city. 1t
was the last, positively the last, Chill
dren's day, and as usual the young ones
showed up in great shape. They
seem to be about the most
numerous patrons the Exposition has.
The mass meeting of directors held
yesterday morning was Tor the purpose
of making the wind-up of the EXPOSE
ton something to be remembered in the
history of the city. The show will close
in blaze of glory, and the executive
committee, who will have this grand
finale in charge, w. E. Steele, E. A.
Stevens, W. NJ. Bracket, George HUM,
George Marchant, G. NJ. Palmer, T.
Chute and Henry Doerr. This commit
tee will have its headquarters at 100
Nicollet avenue and all details can be
learned at that place.
Next week will be celebrated for the
beautiful music offered. Beside Liber-
att and DanZ's military bands that will
play on Monday night, will be the
grand chorus concert under that well
known leader, Prof. Stempf, and Friday
evening the rendition of Stabat Mater
by the best local talent under Prof.
DAM.
There is but one week more to
see the Exposition, but it promises to be
gay one, and what with the presidents
visit, Ladies' day, the grand music, and
other specialties that the management
are sure to get up, everybody in town
should not fail to visit the grand show
ere it closes on 1887.
